for those labor day barbecues. thank you so much, frances. well, icon and singer jimmy buffett, who inspired millions of parrotheads with hits like margaritaville and cheeseburger in paradise, has died, but his music and his legacy live on. abc news reporter whit johnson has the story. and, honey, i didn't know that i'd be missing you so. >> so come monday, it'll be all right. >> this morning, the world is celebrating the life and music of jimmy buffett wasting away again in margaritaville. searching for my lost shaker of salt, a gulf coast native and avid sailor buffett alongside his coral reefer band, became a symbol of island escapism on the plane. >> but i think that it's know

about as fall. >> he began his music career as a country singer in nashville, but soon established his easygoing beach bum persona with tropical hits like margaritaville and cheeseburger in paradise, cheeseburger in paradise, ice heaven on earth with an onion side. buffett building the margarita ville brand into a business empire with ventures from record labels to restaurants and casinos to broadway musicals. his stake in the brand reportedly worth $180 million in 2015. the singer speaking at the university of miami commencement, sharing some life advice through his own lyrics. it is time to see the world, time to kiss a girl and time to cross that wide meridian . buffett was 76 and he will be missed. >> well, in the south bay, a bus goes up in flames in san jose while mechanics are working on it. but what makes this one

different? it's electro powered. two mechanics were hurt and this morning we have a response from the company that makes the bus the same company recently filed for bankruptcy. abc7 news reporter lauren martinez has the story. >> two mechanics suffered smoke inhalation after this battery electric bus burst into flames. this happened friday afternoon at a maintenance yard in san jose with a vta bus that was out of service. the transportation agency said the two mechanics were working on repairs when the fire started. >> they immediately tried to extinguish the fire. that didn't work. it started spreading quickly and so they physically pushed the bus out of the bus bay to try and avoid any further damage to other employees or to the bus bay. and then the fire just engulfed the bus. >> the san jose fire department said no structures were damaged and no injuries were reported. vta said the bus that caught fire was one of ten battery electric proterra busses.

proterra an electric bus manufacturer and pioneer in the industry, was founded in 2004. they released this statement to abc7 news. the cause of this incident has not been confirmed, but the preliminary information indicates that the fire originated near the front of the vehicle. there was no indication that the fire involved the vehicles battery system. in august the ceo announced the company has voluntarily filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, but would still operate. >> but we don't know exactly what the impact will be. we do have other busses that can take their place. they're not electric busses. we have taken all of our electric busses out of service. >> for now, there's a state mandate to transition public busses to 100% zero emission by 2040. >> we do have 92 busses coming in the next several months. that are hybrid electric. they're not all electric busses, but we are trying to work on that zero emission goal in san jose. >> lauren martinez, abc seven

news. >> a bizarre incident prompting oakland police to investigate. it happened around 745 last night on east street near 94th avenue. we're told a person wanted in connection with a shooting vandalized several homes and then broke into one and set it on fire. the homeowner says a suspect forced their way in and also went into their son's room. at that point , the owner said they ran for safety. they say they do not know the person who broke in. oakland police did detain a person of interest and nobody was hurt. well, we are about three months into the crackdown on fentanyl dealing in san francisco. but is it working? well, numbers are pouring in when it comes to tackling the crisis, particularly in the tenderloin neighborhood. abc7 news reporter tara campbell sorts through them and spoke to a woman whose son is among those arrested. >> three months into a multi-agency effort taking aim at san francisco's open air drug market and new numbers show a big bump in dealers being

arrested. >> my first thoughts when i hear these numbers going up like this is. thank you. because that means that they're putting pressure on the drug dealers to get these deadly drugs off the streets. >> jackie berlin son corey is on the streets battling addiction to fentanyl. >> it makes it harder for my son to access the drugs which maybe puts a little pressure on him and others to get an opportunity to think. maybe they just want to be done with this. >> san francisco police arresting 300 drug dealers since the end of may while california highway patrol and federal law enforcement report another 100 drug arrests. >> what is encouraging to me is less about the numbers and more about the cooperation, because ultimately that's where we're going to make progress. >> police also focusing efforts on getting drug users off the streets. san francisco police making 450 public intoxication arrests. jackie berlin's son is one of them. he was held for 12 hours, as he said, he just slept

most of the time, which actually that's something that he needs is a safe place to sleep. and supervisor matt dorsey wants to see more money going into helping drug users get treatment in jail. he's calling on the mayor to redirect millions set aside for a handful of resource centers. >> it's hard to make the case that we should be spending the amount of money ■that we have budgeted for this for a voluntary drop in center when we have an involuntary population, probably in more dire need of medical care. >> the city is on pace for the deadliest year yet amid the fentanyl crisis, and berlin is banking on the crack down, helping to slow it down so it puts more, more pressure on the addicts to start thinking more about this isn't a way of life that they want to stay into. tara campbell, abc7 news san, offered president marc tessier-lavigne officially stepped down this week as head of the university and also retracted two papers. >> the controversy began when

stanford student newspaper called it a question the integrity of levine's scientific papers that he had written in the past that he was a lead author of two brain studies that were published in 2001. levine announced he would resign back in july and said he would be stepping down for the good of the university. now, hawaii's governor, josh green, says the number missing from the maui fires could drop to fewer than 100. initially, more than a thousand people were considered unaccounted for based on reports from family and friends, officials narrowed the list to 385 names that they credibly considered missing. it included names of many who were alive or known to have died after authorities published the names. more than 200 people came forward with information on those listed fire fighters who volunteered to help with relief efforts following the maui wildfires are now back home in san francisco. these members of the asian firefighters

association met at chinatown's far east cafe after a week of helping on the island. >> my family's from lahaina. i spent all my summers on lahaina. these guys stepped up, were right there willing to do anything and we're talking digging through ashes to find someone's keys to their car to their great grandmother's hawaiian bracelet that's melted hands and knees in the ashes. whatever it took, these guys showed up. so thank you guys for coming. >> and the firefighters spoke of the devastation that they saw on maui. they helped contribute by distributing water supplies and some basic necessities their millions of americans are taking to the skies for this labor day weekend. you're getting a live look outside right now at sfo. tsa checkpoints had over 2.7 million people through them. yes today. and that's three times the amount that traveled for labor day weekend in 2020. in the height of the pandemic, the

tsa also says that this summer has been the busiest travel season ever. record and happening now, the labor day getaway is well underway. whether it is by plane or by car . and we saw packed roads in the bay area last night. apparently people also have an itch to fly because the tsa is expecting about 14 million people will pass through airports between now and wednesday. here's abc seven news reporter tim jones ahead of the holiday weekend. >> many gas stations around the bay area were packed friday. can you stay off the road tomorrow on the way to la? lauryn kahn was filling up her tank in millbrae ahead of a trip to visit family in socal. triple a says they're anticipating a 4% rise from last year. in labor day, travelers on the nation's roadways. >> we started seeing really before memorial day this return to pre-pandemic numbers or close to pre-pandemic numbers. >> thousands of people around the bay area are expected to hit the roads this holiday weekend, but they won't just be traveling by car. they'll also be going by

air. and airports nationwide are expected to be packed. >> what we've learned through our research is travelers prioritize travel in their savings and in their budgets. >> henry hertefeld is the travel industry analyst based in san francisco. he says if you'll be traveling through an airport over the next few days, having patience is essential. >> give yourself more time to get through airport security, even if you have tsa precheck, the tsa is expecting to screen over 14 million passengers in airports around the country through wednesday. >> sfo, though, is one of the few major airports in the nation still below 2019 levels, something that could be seen at the departures hall friday night when i was checking in online, it got like an offer. >> hey, do you want to change your flight? do you want to bid for compensation or something and go to a later flight? so i was expecting it to be much more packed. and i got here like 3 or 4 hours early. it's a ghost town. >> and while some say they're planning ahead this labor day weekend, others not so much.

probably not gonna wiget yeah, i'll just do my normal in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. well if you are traveling for the labor day holiday or maybe you're visiting or staying in town, of course you want to know all about the weather. >> so let's get a preview of your labor day weekend forecast with frances. >> yeah, we're going to see cloudy conditions throughout the weekend with temperatures slightly below normal and even a slight chance of isolated showers through tomorrow. so i'll let you know your labor day forecast coming up. sounds good. >> thank you, francis. also ahead, a youtube star known for her parenting advice gets arrested for child abuse. the alarming details coming out about what she's accused of doing to her children. and if you're searching for an at home covid test, you are not alone. many stores are sold out. the reason behind the spike in demand for those test kits.

they just know their way around a good deal. that's why, we hired them all. at marshalls, our buyers hustle every day for the brands you love. they can tell the quality-to-cost ratio simply by touch. and know what makes bone china different from porcelain. (whispered) impressive. but most importantly, they know that that bag is amazing, so we'll take them all... for the right price. we get the deals. you get the good stuff. marshalls

our customers don't do what they do for likes or followers. their path isn't for the casually curious. and that's what makes it matter the most when they find it. the exact thing that can change the world. some say it's what they were born to do... it's what they live to do... trinet serves small and medium sized businesses... so they can do more of what matters. benefits. payroll. compliance. trinet. people matter.

her youtube show a passengers was arrested earlier this week for abusing some of those children. the story came to light when a malnourished child escaped and went to a neighbor's house looking for food and water . police say the child's wrists were duct taped and had wounds across his body from being tied up. investigators say a second malnourished child was found inside that home. the future of a north bay daycare center is unclear this morning. the lease for the fairfax san anselmo children's center just expired. the ross valley school district owns the five acre campus. it terminated the lease, citing costly seismic and other repairs that the district cannot afford to make. the center has been a lifeline for hundreds of low income families across marin

county for decades. >> she asked me on the way to school today if you know they were going to close our school. this facility is a special place to so many families. they've, you know, there's generations that have come here. >> the school district's superintendent says it has not taken any steps toward eviction . the daycare has launched a go fund me to help purchase the property from the district and pay for safety upgrades. directors say it is a long shot , but losing the center is not an option. a rise in covid 19 cases has many bay area families looking for those covid home test kits. the tests have been very hard to find, with many stores already sold out. abc7 news reporter cornell bernard has information on where to go to find this test. so it was better to be prepared. >> mary curry has home covid tests on her shopping list, but she can't find them anywhere. >> i went to costco this morning

hoping to get some and then i came down here to the cvs here in novato, hoping to get some and they haven't had any since early august. they told me several pharmacy chains in marin county are sold out of tests. >> employees telling customers to check back later online. we found a number of walgreens stores showing test kits not available or in limited stock at stores in san francisco. and the east bay clearly seeing more transmit option, and that's leading to more cases, more symptoms and more demand for tests. dr. matt willis says a summer surge in covid cases likely fueling demand for tests , along with students going back to school. all those test kits may be, in short supply going into the fall season, walgreens telling abc7 news. we are seeing greater demand in this category nationwide, which may cause temporary and isolated shortages. we continue to restock those stores as quickly as possible to best meet customer demands. >> i'm wearing a mask inside again and i want to have tests available. i'm traveling on monday for a week. so, you know,

i wanted to get some tests one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. >> this cvs store in novato just got a fresh shipment of covid tests. we also found plenty of kits available on amazon, some with overnight shipping. dr. willis says if you need to get tested right away, call your doctor and then your other option is going to your health care provider. >> health care providers do have test kits as well. in marin county, cornell bernard, abc7 news. >> and something else to add, covid tests that are past their expiration date can still be used to make sure. just check the manufacturer's website for the specifics on how long the test is viable. happening now part of westbound i-80 is closed for all of labor day weekend so it can be repaved. westboun 80 is closed between interstate 780 and highway four, and that in the carquinas bridge. the detour is highlighted in green right there on the map. so drivers should take 782, 680 and then highway four back to 80. and as you can imagine, there is

a lot of slow traffic on that detour. this is what it looked like yesterday on southbound interstate 680. a lot of trucks were sharing the road with cars. 80 is closed so that caltran can repave it. it plans to pour 9000yd■!t of concrete treat so that it can reface four lanes of traffic. caltrans says that condensing the work into the long weekend will spare drivers from months of overnight closures. so if you travel there , keep that in mind. i was there earlier this week and you know it is going to be a problem for some people, but it will be good in the long run where that road will be repaved. so, frances, how's it looking? this labor day weekend? >> it is looking very cloudy right now as we show you live. doppler seven and satellite radar image. and that's going to be the story for most of the weekend as we zoom in a little bit, there's some light rain falling in sacramento, elk grove already got four hundreds of an inch during the past 12 hours. and then here's a live shot from sutro. so a great start this

morning as we look toward san francisco. most temperatures are now in the 60s san francisco's 62, oakland 65. san jose, also 65 half moon bay, 63 degrees. and this time from emeryville. we're looking out west. so we're seeing some breaks in the cloud cover right there over the bay. winds are light right now. you can see the water is calm in santa rosa at 61, novato is 63. napa, 65 and we're seeing low to mid 60s through fairfield, concord and also in livermore. and as we show you the golden gate bridge, not too much fog out there. even a little bit of breaks in the clouds and some blue right now. but here's what you need to know for the forecast. so mostly cloudy throughout the weekend. we even could get some morning drizzle and also again tonight, there's a chance of isolated showers this weekend, but the chance is around 10 to 20. so very light chances and then it's going to be cooler than average through labor day. but we will get more

sunshine on labor day itself. so the reason for all this cloudy weather and these cooler conditions is this area of low pressure there just to the east of ukiah, this counterclockwise rotation is bringing us the cloud cover and the cooler weather for cast animation shows you those little bits of green popping up. that's the chance of an isolated shower. but you notice even through tomorrow, most of this rain will fall east of the bay area or also to our north, and it will bring a chance of thunderstorms to the sierra. highs today will generally be in the 70s half moon bay when the coolest spots at 66. san francisco 70, oakland 73. san jose 76. and it's going to be a little bit sunnier in the north bay. santa rosa will be comfortable at 75 inland areas hitting near 80 degrees today. tonight the clouds will fill in once again and temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s for many parts of the bay area. a little bit cooler in the north bay like cloverdale, santa rosa, lakeport near 56 degrees. and then let's jump

ahead to monday. so we'll get a little bit more sunshine and that allows inland neighborhoods to warm up into the mid 80s for some spots like fairfield, antioch and then around the bay comfortable, we'll see lots of 70s. but at the beaches it's actually going to be cooler because of that stronger sea breeze. so some mid 60s for the beaches. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so we are tracking those isolated chances showers but it is really light and that chance lingers through tomorrow. slightly cooler and then slightly warmer for labor day with a little bit more sunshine really will be closer to average next week on tuesday and then through the workweek, we'll warm up a little bit. so it's going to be nicer this weekend is kind of just gray and, i don't know, cool. it kind of makes me feel kind of sleepy this weekend. >> it does, right. but, you know, the good news is you could still go out and enjoy labor day weekend. it's not like it's going to be raining the whole weekend or in fact, really, if we do get rain, it'll be a few

hundreds at best. >> sounds good. thank you, francis. and a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc7 bay area connected tv app. it is available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. so download the app and start streaming and stay with us. we will be right back

college football and what a slate we have on abc and acc. sec showdown. virginia and tennessee. vols coming off an 11 win season. yeah. >> big expectations after after a big year like that and i think everybody wants to see joe milton hendon had a monster year and now joe milton who filled in

for him in the bowl game and look great. but let's be honest, the knock on joe milton has been consistency going from michigan to tennessee. he now gets the opportunity to be the guy and if tennessee is going to go where they want to go, it's going to be joe. milton is going to be consistent with his decisions and accuracy. >> so many transfer quarterbacks, michael penix jr now washington's quarterback came over last year from indiana had a great year. they opened against boise state another team with with huge expectations and pressure and what a tough game to match up with in my opinion with that typical old tough boise state. >> a veteran boise state team. taylor green is a quarterback that can make you pay for it if you're not prepared. but washington seems to have some maturity about him. i really like what kalen deboer has done. second year now, i think there's more of kind of an established culture. so i think washington will get off to a good start. but they could be challenged here saturday night, prime time abc battle of the carolinas, north and south carolina. well, i think when i heard that game day was coming to charlotte, i was excited because of the quarterbacks. spencer rattler and drake maye, two of the top

year, oakland has met that standard for less than half of the calls a public safety advocate and local attorney filed a series of public records requests after the city's 911 system went down for two days back in july. and that's what eventually brought the new letter to light. >> if you imagine the kinds of victims that we have in oakland today who are carjacking victims, victims of domestic violence, victims of rape, attempted murder, they need to be able to get somebody on the phone within 15 seconds. that is a reasonable amount of time. the letter from the state threatens if oakland pd's numbers do not meet compliance over the next year, 911 calls could get rerouted to another agency. >> the police department says it is a staffing issue and plans to focus on recruiting. there are more than a dozen dispatcher job openings as millions of people will need to make room for student loans in their budgets again after a three year pause interest just started accruing

with this two rbi double jonah bride estuary. ruiz come on down slides in safely and the a's win it nine two. that is your look at sports. let's send things back to you. >> all right, chris, thank you so much. well, before you head out this saturday, here's meteorologist frances clawson with what to expect outside. good morning, frances. good morning, gloria. >> it's going to be similar to yesterday, so that means it's cloudy a little bit on the cool side. here's a live doppler seven and also the satellite radar image showing lots of cloud cover around the bay area. we had some light rain falling in the sacramento area and also live shot from sutro shows you more gray skies, temperatures right now generally in the low to mid 60s. san francisco, 62. oakland, though, in san jose, a little bit warmer at 65. mountain view, 64. palo alto, 62. half moon bay is also at 64 degrees and this time from emeryville. we're seeing some breaks in the cloud cover waters, calm winds are light, but the winds will pick up this afternoon in santa rosa, 62.

we'll see mid 60s in napa, concord and also in livermore. fairfield still at 62 degrees. and this time we're looking from the east bay hills. see how gray it is out there? we have this area of low pressure bringing us these mostly cloudy conditions. we could see some morning drizzle. also again in the evening and then there's a chance of isolated showers today and tomorrow. but it is a slight chance, only 10 to 20% cooler than average temperatures expected through labor day. but we will get a bit more sunshine on monday. so here's this area of low pressure. this counterclockwise rotation, bringing us this cooler weather . and it is going to bring chances of rain showers and even some thunderstorms forms to the sierra. now for us, we could see a pop up, isolated shower here and there. you can see the areas of light green there in parts of the north bay. and then it's kind of hit and miss. in fact, if we do get any rain at all, it will be a few hundredths of an

inch at best tomorrow afternoon, we could get a little bit more sunshine, too, in parts of the bay area. but for today, lots of cloud cover temperatures generally in the 70s for almost everyone except at the beaches where it will be cooler. half moon bay, 66, san francisco, 70. santa rosa 75. oakland 73. san jose 76 and inland areas will hit near 80 degrees in a few spots like fairfield, antioch, livermore and concord. also getting close, tonight's lows will generally be in the mid 50s to low 60s cooler in the north bay like santa rosa and lakeport. cloverdale, 56 and san jose will drop in the 62 overnight tomorrow morning. so waking up to very cloudy conditions. so here's what i mean by temperatures being below average in san jose. we're normally at 82 for today and tomorrow will be in the mid 70s. we come down a little bit. we come up a little bit on monday, but then closer to average tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday. and you'll see that here also with the accuweather seven day forecast. so that isolated

chance of showers today and tomorrow will be a touch cooler and then brighter and a little bit milder on labor day for inland areas they'll warm up into the mid 80s, but the sea breeze will actually cool things down on labor day at the coast. so they're going to drop into the low 60s and then by tuesday and through the rest of the workweek, we'll be closer to average with more sunshine. and i think nicer weather. >> we all love the sunshine, right? yes. >> and sunscreen, of course, sunscreen that. >> yeah. and you reminded me during a break, even if it's cloudy, you got to wear the sunscreen. yes. >> it's always helpful. >> yeah. so that's very helpful for sure. thank you so much, frances. well, grooves are working to protect whales off our coast. they're offering a big thank you to shipping companies for taking action to prevent deadly collisions with whales. abc seven news anchor dan ashley has a look at how the system works. >> if they could do it in their own language, thousands of migrating whales would probably

want to say thank you. so now a group of marine scientists is saying it for them. their awarding several admittedly splashy whale tail trophies to commercial shipping companies, thanking them for slowing down to help protect the whales from deadly collisions and i think it's something that's well deserved because we have a number of shipping lines who have drastically changed their operations and drastically changed their scheduling to ensure that they're slowing down to ten knots. jess morton is with noaa, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, and the california marine sanctuary foundation. she says the awards are part of their protecting blue whales and blue skies program, which asks shipping companies to reduce the speed of their vessels voluntarily. it's traditionally included for commercial incentives until now, the money really isn't the main incentive, and the main reason that they want to be involved in this effort. >> and so actually this year, for the first time in 2023, this has become an incentive program that's just based on positive press and recognition in the top

tier award winners include eight major shipping companies that achieved close to full compliance. >> this one winner, msc, told us in a statementwere committed to making sustainable shipping a reality by doing everything in our power to protect marine life , which is really exciting to see. and while the list of shipping companies participated in the program is growing, so is the technology behind it. in 2020, a partnership led by benioff ocean science laboratory helped place special eavesdropping buoys outside san francisco bay to actually hear the presence of whales in the area and relay the information to managers. kelly leaphart is a project scientist and says the system is multi-tiered. >> so that includes a dynamic blue whale habitat model sightings, data and the buoy data. so real time acoustic data and all three of these, you know, complement each other. >> organizers are also reaching out to corporations that rely on shipping to move their products to help them use the data to assure their customers that their supply chain is whale safe
